Piracy in Star Citizen
SCDark is the home port for pirates in the verse. Not for people who open fire on a hauler on approach, but for crews that read a route, set a trap and leave with the cargo. English and German, because the verse has no borders.
Star Citizen has dozens of careers. In almost all of them you play against the game. In this one you play against people, and that changes everything.
The miner whose Prospector you catch at the ring has been drilling for two hours. The trader with 96 SCU of Laranite worked out the route himself. Every haul has a story, and the person on the other end tells it in their own Discord. No mission giver writes anything like that.
A destroyed hauler scatters its freight. Whoever wants it has to stop the ship, board it or negotiate. That makes piracy a team sport: one holds the snare, two cover, one talks. A ransom is often worth more than the fight.
Experienced crews land three or four good hits in ten to twenty hours. The rest is watching: reading prices at the terminals, finding routes under 200 SCU, sitting on a buy or sell point. If you want quick kills, this is the wrong place.
Pyro was claimed in 2493 by Pyrotechnic Amalgamated for its ore and abandoned in 2563 when the star's flares kept tearing the installations apart. The stations stayed behind. Today the Headhunters, Rough & Ready, the Fire Rats and the 73R Vipers share the system, and no authority objects.
Gangs, changing
Formerly MacEwan Station. Contested zone, the Ghost Arena. Whoever goes in shares the rooms with other crews.
Rough & Ready
The gang's headquarters. Contested zone, trading post, meeting point.
Rough & Ready
Fuel, supplies and entertainment for anything that flies in Pyro and dislikes questions.
Rough & Ready
Outpost at the edge. Quiet, until it is not.
Nobody for long
Weapons and gear without paperwork.
Outlaws who deny it
The hollowed asteroid where WiDoW, SLAM and Maze have a price. Our window into Stanton.
We will not sell you this as a walk in the park.
From level three the system puts a bounty on you, and other players collect it legally. Major ports refuse landing, station turrets open fire on approach.
Die or surrender with a CrimeStat and you wake up in the prison on Aberdeen, to sit out the sentence or mine it down in the tunnels. Everyone in this crew has been there.

What is being built here, in the order it arrives.
Login via Discord, your logbook with handle and display name, language of your choice.

Every raid with cargo, shares and participants. So nobody argues afterwards about who gets what.
